Top 4 in Top 6 Health Benefits of Caviar
Omega-3 fatty acids are being used more and more to prevent and manage risk factors for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. Research suggests they improve risk factors by:
- Lowering blood pressure: Omega-3s may reduce heart rate and tightness of blood vessels to lower blood pressure.
- Improving blood cholesterol levels: Omega-3s may lower blood triglyceride levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
- Preventing platelet aggregation: Omega-3s prevent platelets in your blood from clumping together and forming clots, a risk factor for stroke.
Caviar, a high marine source of omega-3 fatty acids, could offer these advantages without impairing conventional medication therapy. However, further research is required to conclusively correlate caviar consumption to better heart health in people.
